I'll talk to everyone at the quals about it, see if I can generate hype.

Woww, sucks for Jin.

Ashura is pretty dumb, but it does cost 50 meter and puts you in block on HIT. So it's not as bad as lamented. On whiff it can still be punished by probably half the cast, particularly the top tier. If you're a character that can't punish it, let Bang burn the meter. It's extremely short horizontal range, so if you space well it's much less threatening and it is inherently less effective as a blockstring reversal. Bang's drives are gimmicky. 6D loses to overheads, grabs and mashing, 2D and 5D aren't active immediately and lose to lows and grabs. Daifunka is 17 frames start up so it won't catch jabs and most B's, and is unbelievably unsafe on block. IB 5A is good, but I need a 5 frame gap, meaning their followup has to be quite slow.

What? Higher risk? She has a zoning game that makes half the cast approach, and the other half that has a better zone game has to avoid random CH's and the most godlike pokes of any character, most of which lead into 4+k damage. Her defense is also STRONGER than Bang's, having a legitimate no meter DP that is hard to punish for many characters.

I disagree. This match up chart is terrible, it has Arakune in low tier, and I haven't heard from anywhere that Bang is better than Litchi.

Coopa I'm gonna be honest with you, MM's for 100 dollars don't happen almost anywhere. How many people do you know who really have that kind of money to throw around in the BB community?

Without meter, it's generally 3k, because you want to hit them low enough to the ground to get oki. Alternatively, you can get 3.5kish with a poison nail finisher.

LOL Tager has a 7 frame jump? I definitely didn't know that. No wonder I always hit Tagers out of jump startup. Thanks for the correction.

It's not that much if you bring Litchi in. She gets ~4k without meter and wakeup oki super off her 5A. I keep telling people, if they're going to bitch about Bang, bitch about the right things. His command grab rapid combos are fucking stupid, his Dnails are too strong, poison nail dash is too good of an approach, and his normals are unreal.

Coopa I will gladly MM you for 100 dollars minimum o: And I would enjoy to qualify for Norcal V Socal as well

Bang's 5A doesn't lead to 5k. People need to stop exaggerating the power of 5A. With 100 meter, you can get his 5A to do 4.7k

No, 3 frames to get off the ground. All characters but Litchi and Ara have 4 frames jump start.

When you're the best you have to coopa You'll understand someday Oh BTW Render is cool, so socal exists. I guess.

Fixed bro. Real talk.

Where's socal, I don't even know where that is Wait, there's a BB community down there!? WHAT?

I'll tell you a secret for Jared He jumps a fucking shit ton, collider him. Arakune (and litchi too) have greater reason to jump often, since their jump is 3 frames.

It's not dumb if the poor soul is playing pad, where his thumb has to clumsily mash over 3 buttons while praying not to hit the fourth and burst or get an improper move

Dieing terribly to Arakune directly relates to Jared being a beast. :/

You know a lot more about Tager than you do Ragna though.. I'd personally recommend going all Tager except for the Lambda match (lol)

Nothing was broken off of him except damage, and he isn't as bad as he was in CT. He has some tragic matchups and most of the cast has some significant edge over him, but it's not as bad as it was in CT.

It's about damn time, huh? With how many times we played I HOPE you're gonna take 3 rounds off me someday And don't even get me started about Arcana Hart, Man, I was tearing things to PIECES in that game

Winning two matches does not indicate free, son

:[

I will money match -absolutely anyone- for BB. I'll try to coerce as many people as I know to show up, and definitely will help out running it.
